<p>Hey, we are getting quite close to fixing the last blocking bugs for <code>min_const_generics</code> and I would like to open a bunch of topics to discuss some interesting edge cases, diagnostics and future compat concerns and so on and would prefer to do so in a separate stream.</p>
<p>That would allow me to not worry about drowning out other topics and would mean that everything stays in one place. Does this sound like a good idea?</p>

<p>We have working groups already for several other language features, so I think now could be a good time to start a const generics WG.</p>

<p>we already have a const generics project group</p>

<p>i think the main issue here was that because of the foundation work <span class="user-mention silent" data-user-id="116009">nikomatsakis</span> didn't have the capacity to go ahead and I dont know what the next steps should be here</p>

<p>Looks like I'm a bit out of touch: a project group is essentially a WG but with lang team prioritisation (whatever that means concretely)?</p>

<p>In that case, it seems sensible to have a dedicated stream.</p>

<p>I think so, also not completely sure about where const generics fits in here though as it requires a lot of work by both <code>t-lang</code> and <code>t-compiler</code></p>

<p>I can make a <code>#project-const-generics</code> stream, similar to the other project groups, if desired?</p>
